Murmur3Partitioner
The Murmur3Partitioner provides faster hashing and improved performance than the previous default partitioner.
The Murmur3Partitioner provides faster hashing and improved performance than the previous
default partitioner (RandomPartitioner). You can only use Murmur3Partitioner
for
new clusters; you cannot change the partitioner in existing clusters. The
Murmur3Partitioner
uses the MurmurHash function. This
hashing function creates a 64-bit hash value of the partition key. The possible range of hash
values is from -263 to +263-1.
When using the Murmur3Partitioner
, you can page through all rows using the
token function in a CQL query.
